Stolen truck!

[wattaway2]

Woke up at 3am this morning to hear my dodge 4x4 diesel start up and get stolen! Saw it at the end of the street grabbed the keys for the work truck but not fast enough to see we're they headed.SUCKS! Damn thing even had the special factory magnetic key 04 with only 81000 miles just broke in for the cummins .damn I'm pissed

As long as I live, I will NEVER understand how someone can steal!

There is something very wrong going on in this country. Too much "tolerance" for the miscreants and no respect for those that have a respect for traditional principles!

Sorry dude, I know you gotta be pissed... If you are like me I bet you spent a hour or two riding around hoping to see it somewhere on the road with the shot gun in the passenger seat and pistol in you lap. What a f-ed up way to start a morning.

Sorry to hear about your dilemma..been down that road....its a feeling of being violated more than anything!
vehicle tracking for sure next time!!!!

[wattaway2]

have been thinking about the tracking system for the boat I saw at the lauderdale boat show hadnt even thought about it for the truck .

Damm,sorry to hear about that.It's amazing how many vehicle thefts there are whether or not you live in a good or bad neighborhood.
I hope you get the truck back,and if not,I hope you'll do ok with the insurance.

These creeps never seem to get caught,and if they do,all they get is some hokey crap like probation.OOOH! Probation,wow that'll show em.
I'd rather see them get the death penalty,they're never going to amount to anything good anyway.

I live in a rural area, in a very nice town,yet my house was broken into twice.
My daughter had her car stolen much like you,having her morning coffe only to see two guys driving off with it.
The car had a Lo-Jack system on it,and the cops nabbed the slimeball a few days later while he was spraying a new coat of paint on it in his back yard.

Good luck,hope they catch the weasels.

I feel your pain!!
My neighbor that owns the property next to me lives in
Palm Beach. Two years ago his equipment trailer was stolen
from his front yard that was locked to the truck!
Needless to say the trailer with 25K in tools, etc.
was never found....


It almost pays to just drive a beater that nobody wants
or will even get close to you on the road!
I have noticed this driving my 94 Chevy 2500!!
It looks like chit, but mechanically is perfect!

Hope it works out for the best..

I hate that for you...... This is a really bad time of year for theft and it sure can suck the joy out of the holidays.

I agree the penalties for theft lack the teeth they need to slow it down. It is definitely the reason we are seeing increases. Funny the jails seem to overcrowed with drug offenders with manditory stiff sentencing while theft gets treated like a victimless crime. Pretty backwards if you ask me.

I have noticed that my 40 year old boat tends to not attract theives like the others parked near me in places where there has been problems. Sometimes not being shiney and new has its advantages...

What a punch in the dick. I hope it turns up ASAP and unmolested.

Exactly right. Throw into the mix the civil forfeiture laws, and it's no wonder law enforcement doesn't make property crimes a priority.
